NGC 2537, also known as theBear Paw Galaxy,Bear Claw Galaxy,Arp 6, orMrk 86, is ablue compact dwarf galaxy in theconstellationLynx, located around 3 degrees NNW of31 Lyncis.[2] It was discovered on 6 February 1788 byGerman-British astronomerWilliam Herschel.[3]

NGC 2537 belongs to the iE class ofBlue Compact Dwarf (BCD) classification, which is described as galactic spectra with an underlying smooth elliptical Low Surface Brightness component with a superimposed "knotted" star formation component (Gil de Paz et al., 2000, Page 378 Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. Ser. 145).

NGC 2537 was long thought to be possibly interacting withIC 2233. However, even though they may lie at the same distance, neither display the hallmarks of a mutual interaction.[4]

Although nosupernovae have been observed in NGC 2537 yet, aluminous blue variable, designatedAT 2017be (type LBV, mag. 18.5), was discovered on 6 January 2017.[5]
